Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1540: 430: The Immortal Phoenix Sect in Peril (2-in-1, Finale Countdown: 20)

Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
Internal strife divides the Martial faction as they debate whether to suppress the rising Guardian Beast faction or focus on the threat of the Time Master. Their arguments are cut short by a cataclysmic tremor that signals the awakening of the ancient Martial Emperor, Ye Lingjun, who emerges from his jade coffin with a domain spanning ten thousand miles. Meanwhile, the Time Master learns of a rebellion in the Endless Sea involving mysterious Netherwater Spirits that can be summoned by thought alone. As he prepares to retaliate, a sudden shift in the world's shackles grants him and his subordinates the opportunity to break through to unprecedented levels of power, prompting him to prioritize his own ascension over the impending war.

Eastern Extreme Domain, Hunyuan Taoist Sect.

Within a secluded meditation chamber located in the deepest reaches of the Hunyuan Taoist Sect—a place resembling a celestial paradise—a sudden vibration occurred.

Qi Xuandao, who had been sitting cross-legged in deep Cultivation, snapped his eyes open. A look of irrepressible ecstasy washed over his features.

The world… it has undergone a transformation?!

He had originally anticipated spending several months grinding away at the final barrier of his martial path, but now, a sudden sense of liberation enveloped him.

The myriad Daos and laws governing heaven and earth became crystal clear, causing Qi Xuandao’s insights into martial arts to accelerate at a staggering pace.

In a mere instant, he surged past the half-step ninth realm bottleneck that had stymied him for decades. Taking that final stride, he at last crossed the threshold into the ninth realm!

“Boom!”

With an aura that pierced the heavens, the supreme martial power surrounding Qi Xuandao condensed into a domain, erupting outward in every direction.

Five thousand miles…

Six thousand miles…

Seven thousand miles…

Eight thousand miles!!

The definitive mark of the ninth heaven of the Martial Domain is a range spanning between seven thousand five hundred and ten thousand miles.

Qi Xuandao had finally conquered this vital milestone, arriving at the very summit of the Martial Domain Realm.

In the following moment, his eyes flashed with brilliant light.

He turned his gaze toward the endless void, his face twisted with a joy he could no longer contain.

Previously, Qi Xuandao believed the ninth heaven of the Martial Domain was the absolute peak of existence.

However, now that he had truly stepped into this level, he sensed that an entirely undiscovered realm might exist beyond the Martial Domain Realm.

Remaining ignorant of the chaos in the West Profound Domain, Qi Xuandao viewed himself as the individual closest to reaching that legendary new height.

A burning fervor suddenly ignited within his soul.

Long ago, the Martial Emperor was the pioneer who first entered the Martial Domain Realm, drastically elevating the martial legacy.

If he, Qi Xuandao, could be the pioneer to transcend the Martial Domain Realm…

Then his name would be etched in eternity, perhaps even surpassing the legacy of the Martial Emperor himself!

This lure of power cast a frenzied gleam into Qi Xuandao’s eyes.

First, he would purge the Beastmaster lineage and sweep away every hindrance; only then would he focus entirely on breaking through to that new realm!

In this era of upheaval, my grand opportunity has arrived!

With a blur of motion, he exited the quiet chamber. Qi Xuandao looked upon the powerful members of the Hunyuan Taoist Sect, who stood paralyzed by the eruption of his martial domain, and let out a savage grin.

“Send out my decree. Summon the other sects and move immediately to lay siege to the Immortal Phoenix Sect.”

“From this day forward, the Beastmaster lineage shall be erased from the Eastern Extreme Domain!”

Eastern Extreme Domain, Immortal Phoenix Sect.

The abrupt world-tremor had also stirred deep unrest within the Immortal Phoenix Sect.

A commanding voice soon echoed through the sect’s territory, steadying the disciples.

“The world has changed; stay calm.”

Inside the Sect Master Hall, the gathered immortals all wore looks of pure delight.

At this moment, every one of them could feel the rigid boundaries of their respective realms beginning to soften.

The chains that once demanded years of bitter Cultivation to break now seemed ready to shatter at a touch.

Even the rule power permeating the atmosphere was more concentrated than before, making it far easier to grasp.

Ji Qinghuan, sensing her own meditation efficiency skyrocketing, allowed a rare look of relief to soften her features.

“This is wonderful,” she murmured, a faint smile touching her lips. “I do not know the cause of this global shift, but it appears to be a blessing.”

“What has occurred?” A figure manifested silently within the Sect Master Hall, sounding quite surprised.

It was Rong Venerate.

It had been concealed within the void, submerged in a deep slumber and closed-door cultivation, only to be jolted awake by this strange phenomenon.

“I can feel my recovery rate accelerating by thousands of times.” Rong Venerate’s voice trembled with intense excitement. “What should have taken decades to mend will now likely be restored in a single month!”

Upon hearing Rong Venerate’s report, Ji Qinghuan and the other immortals grew even more jubilant.

Rong Venerate had mentioned before that this grievous injury was a blessing in disguise. Through its struggle with the ninth realm Time Master, it had grasped a sliver of a chance to ascend to the ninth realm of the space system.

Once it returned to its prime, it might not just be an eighth realm entity, but one possessing a far superior level of power.

For the Immortal Phoenix Sect, this was indeed auspicious news.

“Now, only Lin Su has yet to come home.” A shadow of concern crossed Ji Qinghuan’s face. “Do you suppose something befell Lin Su in the West Profound Domain? It is, after all, a place where martial arts flourish.”

“The Sect Master needn't fret,” Kun Venerate replied with a steady tone. “Young Master Lin Su possesses both courage and cunning. Furthermore, his power has reached the epic level, allowing him to challenge immortals and those in the Martial Domain Realm directly. He should return within a few days.”

“I hope you are right.” Ji Qinghuan felt some of her anxiety ebb away at Kun Venerate’s reassurance.

Suddenly, a panicked voice cried out from beyond the Sect Master Hall.

“Sect Master! Disaster has struck!”

“The Sect Master of the Hunyuan Taoist Sect has achieved the ninth stage of the martial domain! He has conspired with three other sects—the Miao Shouyun Sect, Hidden Sword Valley, and Blood Sea Tower—to surround us. They intend to launch a total war!”

“What?!”

The peaceful atmosphere that had filled the Sect Master Hall evaporated in an instant.

“To think so many things happened in just fifteen days?”

Seated beside Shen Yunshan and Qin Yunzhang, Lin Su looked visibly stunned.

The timing was almost too perfect, wasn't it?

The moment he had stepped into the Divine Court Secret Realm, Blue Star began its mythological transformation.

And by the time he emerged from that realm, the transformation had already concluded.

What remained was a version of Blue Star he could barely recognize.

The original Blue Star was tiny compared to Shenwu; back then, a clash between powerful immortals felt as though the world itself was being torn asunder.
